where we focus

PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY AND DEMOCRACY

Gender equality is a human right. Women and Men are entitled to live with dignity and with freedom from want and from fear. Gender equality is also a precondition for advancing development and reducing poverty.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND PEACEBUILDING

Sustainable development recognizes that growth must be both inclusive and environmentally sound to reduce poverty and build shared prosperity for today’s population and to continue to meet the needs of future generations.

Education and capacity building

Many people in need around the world do not get a quality education where they can learn and develop. To advance learning, EFADA supports education programs.
We focus on the improvement of the socio-economic status of marginalized and vulnerable groups.

livelihoods and economic wellbeing

The opportunity to work and earn a living is one of the most effective ways people can rebuild their lives in dignity and peace. We work to promote the right to work, the right to skills development and innovative ways of supporting economic self-reliance.
